AMERICAN PROTEST.
LOOTING BY JAPANESE. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. The United States Ambassador at Tokio (Mr Grew) has made emphatic representations to the Japanese Foreign Office regarding the failure of the Japanese military authorities at Nanking to prevent the continuance of looting, which, according to consulate reports to the State Department, have become a daily occurrence. For example, it is asserted that between January 15 and January 18. 15 instances of irregular entry to United States property have been reported . State Department officials have not made any effort to conceal their concern over the situation, especially because, when the Panay case was settled, the Japanese Government gave positive assurances that thereafter they would respect American nationals and property.
